You Are Not Alone. This is Your Space to Feel Safe, Informed, and Heard.

Q: 5. Has my self-confidence changed since being in this relationship?

If your sense of self feels smaller or shaken, its okay to take that seriously.

Q: 7. When something goes wrong, does my partner take responsibility, or is it always somehow my fault?

If youre always the one apologizing or being blamed, thats a sign of imbalance.

When you’re going through something painful, confusing, or frightening in your relationship, it can feel like the world becomes very small. You may start questioning your memory, your feelings, or your strength. You may wonder if what you’re going through is really “that bad.” Maybe you’ve already tried reaching out and felt dismissed, or you’re afraid no one will understand.

We created this space with one clear message: you don’t have to do this alone.

Here, you will find guidance, emotional support, and clear steps to help you understand what you’re experiencing and discuss what your options might be. Whether you’re in the early stages of questioning, thinking about leaving, or taking your first steps toward healing, you are welcome here. No decision is too small. No feeling is too much. Your pain is real, and your safety matters.

You are not alone. And whatever you’re feeling-you’re allowed to feel it.

Is Your Relationship Healthy?

Take a few quiet minutes to reflect. Your feelings matter. These questions are here to help you explore what you’re experiencing—without pressure or judgment.

1. Do I feel safe to speak up, even when we disagree?

If you feel anxious about sharing your thoughts or worry about how they’ll react, that’s something to pay attention to.

2. Does my partner listen to my “no” and respect my boundaries?

Your boundaries deserve to be heard and honored, every time.

3. Have I been made to feel guilty for spending time with friends or family?

Feeling isolated or guilty for having other relationships is not love, it’s a warning sign.

4. Do I feel like I’m walking on eggshells around my partner?

Constantly adjusting yourself to avoid conflict is emotionally exhausting and not healthy.

5. Has my self-confidence changed since being in this relationship?

If your sense of self feels smaller or shaken, it’s okay to take that seriously.

6. Do I feel like I have control over my time, money, or body?

You have a right to make decisions about your own life. Love doesn’t take that away.

7. When something goes wrong, does my partner take responsibility, or is it always somehow my fault?

If you’re always the one apologizing or being blamed, that’s a sign of imbalance.

These questions can be hard to sit with. You don’t have to go through it alone, we are here 1800 102 7282

Leaving, Staying, or Unsure — Here’s What You Need to Know

Creating a safety plan can help protect you and your loved ones. Every situation is unique - adapt these suggestions to your needs.

1. I'm thinking about leaving. How can I do it safely?

Leaving isn’t easy. And it shouldn’t have to be done alone.

Here are a few things to think about when you feel ready:

Quietly collect important documents and essentials
Save emergency contacts in a way only you can find
Choose a time and way to leave that feels safest to you
Create a code word with someone you trust
Plan what to do if things start to escalate unexpectedly

You’re not alone in this. We are here, when you’re ready, to listen, to talk or to help you plan. Call now 1800 102 7282

2. How can I protect myself digitally if my partner monitors me?

Digital abuse can show up in quiet, invasive ways.

Sometimes it’s someone checking your messages without asking. Or tracking your phone. Or scrolling through your accounts like it’s their right.

If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone and there are ways to protect your digital space:

Use secure, private browsers
Clear your browsing history regularly
Switch to encrypted messaging apps
Create new accounts if needed

Your online safety is just as important as your physical safety. You deserve both. Call us for support.

3. What legal options do I have if I want to leave?

Our services are open to women, children, and queer individuals impacted by domestic or interpersonal violence. We provide inclusive, survivor-led support without judgment.

4. Where can I go if I don’t feel safe at home?

You deserve to feel safe. If home doesn’t feel that way right now, there are places you can turn to:

Emergency shelters that provide short-term safety
A trusted friend, neighbor, or family member

You don’t have to figure this out alone. We can help you think through what feels possible and what feels right for you. Reach out when you’re ready: 1800 102 7282

5. What if I’m not ready to leave? Is there still help?

You don't have to leave to deserve support.

Many people stay, for their children, because of love, financial reasons, or fear. There is no shame in that. Your safety, your pace, your choice.

While you're navigating this, here are small ways to care for yourself:

Find ways to de-escalate conflict when possible
Create quiet moments for yourself, even in a tense space
Journal or voice-note your thoughts to process emotions
Build an emotional safety plan that helps you feel more steady
Care for your mental health - rest, breathe, remind yourself of your worth

If you're wondering what a safety plan could look like for your situation, we can figure it out together.
